If you’re not in the Detroit area, you can still watch the film on your local PBS station. Please go to Film School Shorts: Episode 309: It’s In The Blood — KQED, and plug in your zip code under ​“change location” on the right side of the screen (next to ​“Television Broadcasts”) to find what stations at what time are playing ​“It’s In The Blood.”

If you miss those dates, you will be able to eventually watch the film anytime on Film School Shorts youtube channel. If you want to watch it this very moment, visit Shannon’s Vimeo channel, which also includes a fun behind the scenes video.

“Film School Shorts” is a national half-hour weekly KQED series that showcases short student films from across the country. Each week, viewers can watch well-crafted films with high production values, strong dialogue and riveting drama that is grouped together around a central theme or topic.

A Series of Kinetic Sets Tell A Story

Through the painstaking transformation of a series of cardboard boxes, Shannon Kohlitz brings a box of cherished keepsakes to life, recalling a tale of love and heartbreak that spans decades and continents. Before you toss out a seemingly useless heirloom, ask yourself, ​“If inanimate objects could speak, what stories would they tell?”
